Study

       

15 Then the responsible men of the children of Israel came to Pharaoh, protesting and saying, Why are you acting in this way to your servants?

Commentarius

 

Voice and hand

  

In Genesis 27:22, 'voice' relates to truth, and 'hand,' to good.

7126. 'Thus said Pharaoh' means regarding the molestations. This is clear from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the ones who molest those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with several times already; so it is that molestation is meant.
